Donald Strickland makes a great play to knock the ball away from Bryant Johnson on a fade route to the end zone. Strickland can thank Shawntae Spencer for that play. While guarding Larry Fitzgerald in college at Pittsburgh, Spencer defended the fade by putting his hand right between the Fitzgerald’s arms when he puts them up to catch the ball. That’s exactly what Strickland did to force overtime. Nate Clements has been terrific all year. But he was burned for three straight completions to Larry Fitzgerald on the final drive. Bryant Johnson then made a tremendous catch over Strickland to get the Cardinals to the 2-foot line.
